OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Xihuang pill (XHP) against diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS The active ingredients of XHP and potential therapeutic targets for DLBCL were identified using TCMSP, GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. Protein-protein interaction networks were constructed using the String database and Cytoscape software to screen core components and core targets. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were then performed. The clinical relevance of core targets was analyzed using the GEPIA and PanCanSurvPlot databases. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were conducted to verify the interactions between core components and core targets, and the binding free energy was calculated using the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method. The effects of XHP on DLBCL and the related molecular mechanisms were validated using CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry and Western blot. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis identified 108 active ingredients of XHP and 410 potential therapeutic targets for DLBCL. Six core components (e.g., 17 beta-estradiol, quercetin) and ten core targets [e.g., tumor protein 53 (TP53), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC)] were obtained. Enrichment analysis indicated that the anti-DLBCL effects of XHP were primarily associated with the apoptotic signaling pathway, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway and so on. Clinical correlation analysis revealed that TP53 and SRC expression were significantly up-regulated in DLBCL tissues and associated with poor patient prognosis (P<0.05). Molecular docking, MD simulations and MM-PBSA calculations confirmed that the SRC-quercetin complex had a mail:stronger and more stable binding affinity. In vitro experiments demonstrated that XHP concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation of DLBCL cells; compared with control group, XHP medium- and high-dose groups could significantly induce the apoptosis of SU-DHL2 and SU-DHL4 cells, and significantly down- regulated the expressions of SRC protein, phosphorylated (p)-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in SU-DHL4 cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS XHP may inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of DLBCL cells by regulating the SRC/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

In the era of evidence-based medicine, the progress of medical science and technology has enriched medical diagnostic tools and treatment methods, but it has also led to the loss of medical warmth and the alienation of the doctor-patient relationships. William Osler emphasized that while medical technology advances, attention should also be paid to the practice of narrative medicine and the development of physician’s narrative literacy. The view of the physician he advocated reminds us that the core of medicine still lies in the narrative connection between doctors and patients, as well as a deep understanding of human nature. By exploring the relationship between Osler’s view of the physician and narrative medicine as well as physician’s narrative literacy, this paper analyzed the methods of cultivating physician’s narrative literacy, providing references for modern medical education and practice, and assisting in the harmony and unity of science and technology and humanity.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hydromorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets (HHERT) in the treatment of chronic cancer-related pain (CCRP) in real-world settings, and to explore the effectiveness and reasons for rotation patterns between HHERT and other opioid drugs (OOD). METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 142 CCRP patients receiving strong opioid therapy at Fujian Cancer Hospital from January to December 2025. Patients were divided into the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group based on medication status. The efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. The drug rotation group was further subdivided into the OOD-HHERT group (rotated from OOD to HHERT) and the HHERT-OOD group (rotated from HHERT to OOD). Dose conversion coefficients were compared with guideline recommendations, and pain relief status, rotation types and reasons for rotation were analyzed between the two subgroups. RESULTS In the 142 CCRP patients, 107 achieved pain relief, with an overall response rate of 75.35%. After 4 weeks of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in efficacy between the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group ( P <0.05). A total of 110 adverse reactions occurred in 86 patients, with an overall adverse reactions of 77.46%, there were no statistically significant differences between the continuos HHERT group and the drug rotation group in the incidence of drug adverse reactions ( P >0.05). 99 experienced opioid rotation, with an overall rotation rate of 69.72%. The pain relief rates after rotation were 74.36% in the HHERT-OOD group and 73.33% in the OOD-HHERT group, indicating comparable efficacy ( P >0.05). In 31 patients (31.31%), the dose conversion coefficients did not conform to guideline recommendations. There was a significant difference in the distribution of rotation types between the two groups ( P <0.05): the HHERT-OOD group was dominated by route of administration changes, while the OOD-HHERT group was dominated by unchanged route of administration. The proportion of rotations due to restricted route of administration and drug supply shortage was significantly higher in the HHERT-OOD group than that in the OOD-HHERT group ( P <0.05); the proportion of rotations due to inadequate analgesic effect was significantly higher in the OOD-HHERT group than that in the HHERT-OOD group ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS In real-world settings, both HHERT and opioid rotation strategies demonstrate favorable analgesic effects in the treatment of CCRP. Rotation patterns are primarily driven by practical factors such as inadequate analgesic effect and restricted route of administration. It is necessary to standardize dose conversion standards and indications for opioid rotation to improve individualized cancer pain management.
